Definitions

  • thermoplastic saturated polyester low profile additives for use with unsaturated polyesters and unsaturated monomers to make molded parts, especially vehicle parts.
  • These low profile additives are made by reacting saturated diacids having a major portion of aromatic diacids with glycols, a portion of which are asymmetrical glycols.
  • the aromatic diacid containing reactant is obtained by glycolysis of ground polyethylene terephthalate using an asymmetrical glycol forming a low molecular weight oligomeric glycol.
  • thermosetting polyester resins for exterior auto and truck parts
  • plastic materials such as fiberglass-reinforced thermosetting polyester resins for exterior auto and truck parts
  • These cured resin materials have been successful because they are strong, heat resistant and enable molders to form one plastic part instead of several metal parts.
  • thermosetting composites are difficult to mold without seriously compromising the surface cosmetics of the finished part.
  • material suppliers and molders have worked to continuously improve the surface smoothness and dimensional stability of composite parts.
  • thermoplastic polymer additives are used to improve surface quality of molded thermosetting plastic parts. These materials are called low profile additives because they decrease surface roughness and improve surface smoothness or "profile" by reducing the shrinkage of the thermosetting resin as a part is cured during molding. When significant cure shrinkage occurs, a cross section of the surface appears rough under high magnification showing large peaks and valleys. When cure shrinkage is reduced, the surface is smoother, and its cross section appears smoother, having lower peaks and shallower valleys. The objective of an effective low profile additive is to reduce the difference between the highest peaks and shallowest valleys to a minimum. Even the best low profile additives however, do not achieve a mirror-like surface.
  • thermoplastic polymers used as low profile additives to control reaction shrinkage and improve the surface smoothness when curing unsaturated polyester resins and vinyl ester resins include polystyrene, polyesters, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl acetate, polyurethanes, polyglycols, and their various copolymers.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,959;209 Koppers lists polymeric thermoplastics which reduce the shrinkage of thermosetting resin formulations as they are cured and thus effectively produce articles having smooth, high quality cosmetic surfaces.
  • Listed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,959,209 are homopolymers of ethylene, styrene, vinyl toluene, alkyl methacrylates, alkyl acrylates, various copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, styrene and acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate and alkyl esters of acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate and styrene, methyl methacrylate, and acrylamide.
  • thermoset molding compounds can sometimes improve other properties of thermoset molding compounds.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,421,894 Olin describes a polyurethane oligomer modifier for incorporation into thermosetting polyester resin formulations which imparts improved impact properties to the often brittle thermoset resins in addition to reducing shrinkage during curing.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5, 116,917 Ashland Oil describes a saturated polyester low profile additive for vinyl ester resin systems made from dibasic acid and an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide polyether polyol having an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide molar ratio ranging from 0.1 to 0.9.
  • polyester low profile additives are thermoplastic polyesters. This versatility is due to the wide variety of polyester copolymers that can easily be prepared, thus polyester low profile additives can be custom designed for a particular function in the unsaturated base resin of interest. Most polyester low profile additives are made from aliphatic dibasic acids or anhydrides such as glutaric, adipic, sebacic or azeleic, and glycols based on ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. These low profile additives are usually easy to prepare and formulate, have good compatibility in styrene and base resins, and show excellent shrinkage control which produces a high quality cosmetic surface.
  • low profile additives are also prepared from aromatic dibasic acids or arthydrides such as phthalic, isophthalic and terephthalic, and glycols or lactones.
  • aromatic dibasic acids or arthydrides such as phthalic, isophthalic and terephthalic, and glycols or lactones.
  • Such polyesters are often more difficult to prepare, less soluble in styrene, less compatible in other polyesters, and typically show more cure shrinkage and reduced surface smoothness.
  • they are usually tougher, with higher glass transition temperatures and melting points, and are more resistant to transesterification. This toughness yields increased mechanical properties for composite parts, especially at elevated temperatures.
  • molding formulations are often premixed and stored prior to use, the possibility of transesterification between the low profile additive and base resin always exists.
  • the low profile additives of this invention are prepared primarily from isophthalic and terephthalic acid and a variety of symmetrical and asymmetrical dihydric alcohols or glycols.
  • Resistance to transesterification is primarily a function of the aromatic diacids content and is approximately proportional to the molar ratio of aromatic to aliphatic diacids. Resistance is best when there is a major portion of aromatic diacids.
  • compatibility in styrene and unsaturated base resins and effectiveness at reducing cure shrinkage and improving surface smoothness is mainly a function of the variety and structure of glycols used and the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polymer,
  • glycols containing a substantial amount of asymmetrical materials such as propylene, dipropylene, polypropylene, and 2-methyl 1,3-propanediol show increased effectiveness when used to prepare low profile additives,
  • the mechanical properties of the composite increase as the mechanical properties of the low profile additive increase.
  • This invention is a resin composition useful for forming cured, molded articles such as automobile parts comprising a thermoset unsaturated polyester resin, one or more olefinically unsaturated monomers copolymerizable with said unsaturated polyester, and a saturated thermoplastic low profile additive which is compatible with the uncured resin molding formulation and becomes insoluble or incompatible during the curing reaction of the unsaturated polyester and monomer.

  • Useful linking molecules include polyepoxides such as the glycidyl ethers of bisphenol A, phenol-formaldehyde novolaks, aliphatic fatty acids and esters, glycols and polyether glycols, polyamines and cyclohexenes which yield cycloaliphatic epoxides.
  • Polyisocyanates such as toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and methylene di-para-phenylene isocyanate (MDI), are well known and useful.
  • the preferred epoxy linking compound is the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A[4, 4'-(1-methylethyiidene) bisphenol polymer with chloromethyl oxirane [CAS #25068-38-6].

  • the polymerization and curing of the additive containing polyester resin system is effected using well-known procedures, preferably in the presence of a polymerization catalyst.
